Hasselblad H2 user manual Carrying strap, Batteries 5, 6, 7, Rechargeable battery grip

1 2 Carrying strap 1, 2

The carrying strap is attached by firstly withdrawing the safety collar. The hook is then freed and attached to the strap lug (fig. 1). Slide back the safety collar (fig. 2) to ensure the hook remains in the locked position. The collar is purposely a tight fit and might need some effort to slide.

				The H2 requires batteries for all actions. There is no mechanical
				reserve facility so it is advisable to always have a spare set of bat-
				teries or exchange set if using a rechargeable battery pack. As is
				the case with most batteries, problems might be encountered when
				used in very low temperatures. In this situation it is advisable to
				keep an exchange set in an inside pocket, for example, to maintain
	1			them near body temperature.
				The battery holder is located inside the removable part of the
		2		grip. While keeping the battery holder button depressed, swing
				the battery holder retaining lever downward until it stops (fig 3).
				The battery holder will now be released from the grip. Press the
				red battery cassette retaining button inwards on the holder to
				release the battery cassette (fig 4). Load three CR-123 lithium (or
5			6	equivalent) into the cassette, ensuring the polarity of each battery
				is correctly oriented (see the ‘+’ markings on the batteries and the
				cassette) (fig 5, 6). Re-insert the cassette into the battery holder,
				ensuring that it is seated properly in place and that the red button
				returns fully into the locked position. Holding the battery holder
				flat against the grip and aligning the two upper lugs with the slot
				in the grip, slide it back into position as far as it will go. Swing
				back the battery holder retaining lever as far as it will go into the
				locked position.
				Battery life is dependent on a number of variable factors and
				therefore cannot be exactly predicted.If the camera is left in the
				active state instead of standby for long periods, for example, then
				battery life will be reduced. A low-battery state is indicated as a
				symbol on the grip LCD (fig 7).
7			8	When the batteries are almost completely exhausted, a warning

message ‘Low battery’ will appear on the grip LCD (fig 8). The camera will not function at all when this message appears and battery change is essential.

The rechargeable battery pack is an optional accessory that re- places the standard battery cassette and is an economical option for full time users. Please see specific user manual supplied with the rechargeable battery pack for further information.
